Published 2019
4/5
Something evil stalks the citizens of Rose Valley—not for the first time, but hopefully for the last. - WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award - Best Horror Fiction - FINALIST: Readers' Favorite Book Award -Fiction - Paranormal - FINALIST (Top 20): The Kindle Book Review Awards - Fiction - Horror/Suspense After suffering through a horrific car accident, Jake Rollins struggles to survive in his tiny hometown of Rose Valley—a place to which he hoped never to return. When a sheep is viciously mutilated on the ranch where Jake is recovering, he’s dragged back into the cloying politics of small town life. While the Sheriff tries to pass off the incident as the work of coyotes, Jake turns to a local reporter and old high school flame, Shandi Mason, to search for the truth. As livestock mutilations escalate into deadly attacks on humans, and the Sheriff organizes a foolhardy manhunt, Jake and Shandi must race to save the town from a seemingly unstoppable evil.
The Haunt at Hogg Run
by J.P. Barnett
Published 2020
4.5/5
Mysterious screams and terrifying shadows haunt the woods of East Texas—horrors born of deadly secrets. - FINALIST: Feathered Quill Book Awards 2021: Mystery/Thriller/Suspense/Horror - TOP 5 FINALIST: The Kindle Book Review 2021: Horror/Suspense “...an excellent work of suspenseful horror fiction... I absolutely loved the dialogue and East Texas vibe... definitely recommend The Haunt at Hogg Run for horror fans looking for a fully immersive and spine-tingling experience.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, K.C. Finn (5 STARS) It’s not awkward at all when you’re forced on a family vacation with your new stepmother and her young daughter. Reluctantly, Macy Donner agrees to it to please her father. But camping? Even worse. Beset by ominous weather, power outages, and hulking shadows heralded by terrifying screams from the darkness, Macy realizes that she’s their only hope for survival—a thin hope, at best. Although she’s learned a thing or two from her monster-hunting friends, she’s not equipped for the horrors of the nearby, abandoned haunted house, or for its long-buried secrets—secrets that want to kill her. “Themes of love and family bonding, although rare in horror stories, predominate the storyline. With both fantastical and real-life monsters, suspenseful chase sequences, and a brave protagonist, The Haunt at Hogg Run is a real treat for fans of the horror genre.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Shrabastee Chakraborty (5 STARS)
